Preoperative CT-guided localization for pulmonary nodules: a comparative study between conventional and novel tailed coil
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Computed tomography (CT)-guided coil localization is a commonly employed technique for the preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules (PNs). This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of conventional CT-guidance versus coil localization for the preoperative assessment of PNs. Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with PNs who underwent either CT-guided conventional (n=41) or novel (n=42) coil localization before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection between January 2023 and December 2024. The two groups were compared regarding localization success rates and VATS-related outcomes. Results: 11.9%, P=0.340) were comparable between the 2 groups. Both groups achieved a 100% rate of VATS limited resection, with no significant difference in the types of limited resection (P=0.189). The duration of VATS procedure (P=0.804) and the distribution of final pathological diagnoses were both comparable between the two groups (P=0.751). Conclusions: The novel coil localization technique showed higher efficacy than the conventional coil approach for preoperative localization of PNs, while maintaining a similar safety profile.
